Although there is still a few months left before the event, expectations and expectations are not few. For the tenth edition the game was chosen as the theme, while the plant that will represent
the event will be sage.

already collaborate for the success of the event.

In the year of Sage, Orticolario returned to Chantilly with an installation dedicated to the plant that will represent the October

For all those who want to admire it in Cernobbio from the 5th to the 7th of October, it will be among the magic present on
display at the edition of Orticolario 2018.
